Re:Make your screen touch sensitive (sort of)

Demo video right here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2251898/SidLee_Knock.m4v
Only works on Chrome and Firefox (uses getUserMedia), should only be used on non touch devices.
It analyses the translation of the image of your webcam to detect if your screen has moved.
Best usage conditions:
- laptop with webcam on top
- laptop on a flat table (not on your laps)
- decent luminosity
- make sure you're not sitting before a monochrome background

We experienced a server crash a few minutes ago, I think your problem is related. Can you please refresh the page?

Here! My first OS X app, and I'm no developer, so probably poorly written. https://github.com/SidLeeParis/UndoLogger

Just to clarify: this dashboard was made as a sort of a joke :) The data is real but our idea was to make something completely uninteresting fun to watch. We don't use any of the data in a business or cost reduction perspective (although I have to say that the number of printouts makes me realize we could be more eco-friendly). Nothing here is a technological achievement per se, the fact that we brought all this together is what makes it fun.

If there is ONE thing that we are really interested in knowing: what side of the table football is statistically the best. That's a REAL insight.

Yep. Unfortunately, it happens that we work late. We had a pitch presentation this morning, creative team working all night :S

Thanks! https://undo.meteor.com was a side project last year that we aggregated into the dashboard. The undo is indeed a key logger on all Macs at the office. The server only registers the events when the IP address from the sender matches the office's (so we don't log events outside of the agency). We're about 30 people at the office, they all know and trust me. They're all aware of the logger, and it does show in the menubar. And it really, really, really only logs LeftCommand-Z and sends the first name from the logged in user + the active app. Looking forward to your sensors btw!

Hi StavrosK, you're right to be worried. We had someone playing with the API this week and sending wrong events. Security wasn't a primary concern for us, we started this as an internal joke (first version didn't even have a token system). Just to be clear, the light switch doesn't trigger a real light, but the way we handle sending sending the events from the browser is pretty dirty :)

You're right. We'll change the message as soon as I come back to my desk. To be honest, the fact is that for the specific widgets and animations we're using, Chrome gets the best performance (at least on my MacBook Air). Firefox also has troubles with the dotted attribute for border css that we use for the lux widget. But Safari works ok, just as any WebKit browser! And for the record I use safari as my primary browser :)

Fair enough :) Do you mind sharing what's your browser? Trust me, it's been hard enough to work on Firefox, Chrome, Safari, iOS and Android for a first try!

And for people working there! To be honest, the sensor is near a radiator, ambient temperature is hot, but not that much ;)
